TRACKLISTING. MONDAY 23/05/2011

Tonight’s show had a distinctly Northastern flavour, with Generator’s Bob Allan telling us all about Newcastle's upcoming Evolution Emerging Festival at venues across the Ouseburn Alley. Did we have fun? Whey-aye, pet!

Bob caught a Southbound train to come in and tell us all about this FREE event, co-sponsored by NARC magazine and taking place this coming Friday, May 27th. As a musician himself (from the sadly defunct Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire), it’s inspiring to see how passionate Bob is about helping local, unsigned artists. Catch his interview in full on the show.

Our exclusive live tracks also had a Tyneside bias with local legends Let’s Buy Happiness and Polarsets recorded live on the Introducing Stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Carlisle. And you can see video footage of all the emerging artists performing there on the main BBC Introducing Website.

Huw Stephens tipped us the harrowingly beautiful song Landfill by the artist known as DAUGHTER - first recommended to this show by Girl Music Guru Ruth Barnes. In the wake of which she’s been booked by Lauren Laverne for a session AND added to the main 6 Music playlist. We couldn’t be more proud.

Finally, we also got ourselves a bonus tip from the ever knowledgeable Steve Lamacq who warmly recommends new Guildford outfit Sissy And The Blisters. All in all today’s show is, to coin a caricature, reet champion - and well worth two hours of your time!

PS from TR: huge thanks to ace intern Emma Segal for writing our show descriptions these past few weeks and who we wish all the very best in her future career.
